Truth is...that could have happened to anyone.

    But again...I'm not advocating signing him. Just saying that in the right scenario, he could do very well. Probably better than we could expect from Lynch or Siemian.
    You're right, I wasn't looking at the LoS, only how far he ran. The way the rules are now he should've just thrown it out of bounds once he was outside the tacklebox, but that's easy to say from the time- and pressure-free comfort of a chair. Figures he was hurt by Seattle hitting him as he slid; never change, Seahawks.
    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded

    Never confuse frustrated candor and disloyal malice.

    Romo wasn't on the ground when the defender made contact with him. It wasn't a dirty hit.

    He'd already dived; just didn't matter.

    The Seattle player was already mid tackle when he slid. Your asking a guy to stop in mid air to avoid contact. Which is not possible. It was a freak accident. I still don't have any interest in Romo.

    Looks to me like he jumped and swiped AS Romo began his slide, but I concede it's close.

    Was not close at all. Not one part of that tackle should in any way garner any sort of question about a late hit. Not one part of it.

    He MAY have left his feet a SPLIT SECOND before Romo began sliding, but to say it's not even close "at all" is untenable: The tape don't lie. I mean sure, if we count Romos slide from "the moment he hits the ground" but the tackle from "the moment he leaps" it's "not close." But if we count from when each clearly and indisputably began their respective acts, which came first is VERY close. Put it this way:

    Romo took longer throwing himself to the ground than Avril did leaping on him, even though Romo was working with gravity instead of against it.

    Romo had just begun to give himself up when he was hit by that defender. If the defender had made helmet to helmet contact with Romo, that would be a dirty hit.

    Ah, no had still pretty much upright and the defender was already in the process of hitting tackling.

    Romo was injured on the play but it may not have been the defender that caused it. Hit the ground pretty hard with his rear-end it might have been the turf that caused it.

    Well if that's true he'll be in Denver. If he's released I think we automatically end up as the landing spot just about.

    If we sign Romo, and the contract isn't awful, I might smile.
